Hi OMC! What I was trying to describe to David was not anything I've ever seen before so I could not show him a picture. My vision is 2 diamonds, matching in shape and size but mismatched in color. The earring would be about the same size and silhouette as a Cheerio, about 9-10mm in diameter, and the stone would be set in the "hole". Simple shepherd's hook drop, but instead of no closure, I was seeing (in my head) an omega closure running east/west. I could live with a leverback style if that wasn't possible. Everything in white gold to make the color of the stones really pop.

I know that David likes quirky, he embraces the quirk, but I'm not sure that this is an idea that would easily translate to a finished product.

I like the idea! I may be completely wrong, but I don't see any problems whatsoever in making them. The only thing that would concern me a little is the potential weight of a cheerio-sized piece of gold...

This reminds me, I have to get a few pictures of something that never made it on the DBL site, and that curiously enough shares a concept with your idea... and has had probably the longest gestation of any DBL piece (well over 3 years)
